Other Reviewers

Smart Growth and Land Use Committee
A committee of City Councilmembers that oversees a variety of land use, facilities, transportation and housing issues.

Historical Resources Board

The Board also establishes administrative policies that govern conduct of business, and historical standards and guidelines designed to clarify policy and provide direction to City staff.

Community Planning Groups
For projects that require discretionary decisions, community planning groups review and make recommendations to approve or deny projects in their areas to the City Council, Planning Commission, city departments and other governmental agencies.

Community Planners Committee (CPC)
The Community Planners Committee, which is composed of representatives from the Community Planning Groups, provides a forum to discuss citywide planning issues. See upcoming meeting agendas, minutes, resolutions, and other CPC resources.
